With so many new makeup hacks and trends all going on simultaneously its sometimes hard to keep up. From strobing, to sculpting and contouring, we sometimes feel like we need a handbook just to get it right. Thankfully there are plenty of tricks and tips available online to fill in the gaps and make even the most intimidating makeup looks not so scary. Below are seven of our favorites makeup hacks that every makeup lover should know and tuck away to use when needed. However, these aren’t your average makeup tips. These makeup hacks are sure to change your makeup game forever.
1. FIX BROKEN EYESHADOWS
So, it happened. Your reflexes failed you and your brand new palette fell to the ground. The beautiful eyeshadow colors you so lovingly used daily are now shattered. Don’t start crying yet! Your shadows are not done for. Shattered eyeshadow can be easily fixed with some rubbing alcohol and a little TLC. First, break up your already shattered shadow into a fine, powdery consistency. Next, fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spray the shadow. Be sure to use rubbing alcohol that has a high concentration. Lower concentrations have the tendency to create a film over the shadow because of the content of water in them.
2. GET MORE USE OUT OF YOUR DRIED-UP MASCARA
Want to get a few more uses out of your favorite mascara? We’ve got an awesome hack for you. Simply use a saline solution, like contact solution, to re-wet it. A few drops should be all you need to have voluptuous lashes again. However, it is important to keep in mind that you should not use your mascara longer than three months after you bought it. If you are still within that three months range, go for it!
Pro tip: To get the best effects from your mascara, don’t pump it. Instead, twist the wand back and forth using a circular motion. To avoid clumpy lashes, make sure you wipe excess mascara off of the wand before you apply it to your eyes.
3. CONTOUR MAP LIKE A PRO
If you’ve been struggling trying to figure out how all of those Instagram MUA’s contour so perfectly, we’ve got you covered. Map out the areas that you want to contour (your cheekbones, along your hairline, the sides of your nose, and anywhere else you think you need a little bronzing) with a pencil that is easily smudged, like a brow pencil. Brow pencils are easy to use for contouring because their pigments are usually heavily concentrated and can be blended in easily. Read more…………...
